Rachel believes fundamentally that business is a force for good, and is committed to developing the agenda on the subjects that she is passionate about: culture, customer service, entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility. She is regularly invited to speak and share the Moneypenny story with both national and international business audiences, and in so doing raises valuable funds for WEMindTheGap.
